PET Prefrom Injection Molding Machine
The operation safety of PET preform injection - blow molding machines is of utmost importance, and operator training is a key factor in ensuring safe operation and normal equipment operation.
In terms of operation safety, PET preform injection - blow molding machines have several potential danger points. Firstly, the high - temperature parts, such as the heating barrel and injection mold, are very hot during operation. If operators accidentally touch them, they may suffer severe burns. Therefore, these high - temperature parts are usually equipped with good insulation devices, and obvious safety warning signs are set up around the equipment.
The high injection pressure during injection and the high - pressure air during blow - molding may cause harm to operators if the equipment leaks or malfunctions. Therefore, the hydraulic and pneumatic systems of the equipment need to be regularly inspected and maintained to ensure their sealing and safety. At the same time, safety devices such as pressure safety valves are installed on the equipment, and once the pressure exceeds the safe range, the pressure can be released in a timely manner to avoid danger.
Mechanical moving parts are also a potential safety hazard. For example, the rotation of the screw, the opening and closing actions of the mold, etc. If operators misoperate or get close to these parts when the equipment is running, they may be caught or pinched. To prevent such accidents, the machine is equipped with protective devices such as protective doors and safety light curtains. When the protective devices are opened or triggered, the equipment will stop running immediately.
In view of these safety risks, operator training is essential. When new employees join the company, they need to receive comprehensive theoretical training, including knowledge of the working principle, structural composition, functions of various components, and operation processes of PET preform injection - blow molding machines. After passing the theoretical training, they also need to receive practical operation training, with on - site guidance from experienced operators or trainers, so that new employees are familiar with the operation panel of the equipment, the functions of each button, and how to correctly set and adjust production parameters.
Operators also need to receive safety training to understand the possible safety risks of the equipment and how to prevent accidents. For example, how to correctly wear personal protective equipment, such as high - temperature protective clothing and protective gloves; how to handle emergencies when the equipment has abnormal situations, such as emergency stopping of the equipment and evacuating the scene. In addition, regular safety refresher training is also necessary to ensure that operators always remember safety knowledge and continuously improve their safety awareness.
In addition to basic operation and safety training, some enterprises also provide advanced - skill training for operators, such as equipment fault diagnosis and repair, process optimization, etc. This helps to improve the comprehensive quality of operators, enabling them to better deal with various problems that occur during the operation of the equipment and ensure the smooth progress of production.
